BENCH LAND FARMS.
The Coming Wheat Farms of the
Acknowledgements of Lux
uriant Crops-No Irri-
cation Needed.

A visit to the wheat falls on the bench
land about Great Falls, would convince the
most skeptical person of the fact that Mon
tana is the coming "granary of the world"
1t is remarkable what a change has been
produced in the last ten years in the minds
of our own residents, as to the value OF
Montana lands for agricultural purposes.
Then it was the commonly accepted belief
that Montana was only fit for mining, and
agriculture would never pay. Fruits We're
declared impossible to grow, and grain
would not pay to raise save in the most IA
vorable localities. Within that period,
however, a Helena gardener has demon
strated that no finer favored strawberries
and small fruits can be raised than those
raised in our own territory. 1t is hardly
more than six years since there was an at
tempt to farm in Choteau county. Now
the yield of grains, potatoes and vegeta-
bles even with the poor, haphazard, shift
less style of farming in vogue, is such as
to cause an eastern man to open his eyes
with establishment and to classify truthful
accounts With the stories tnat cattle anu
horses are turned loose on the p~rairies in
the winter and come out alive in the
spring.
TREES FLOURIsHING.
Two years ago the most enthusiastic
old-timer about Great Falls secretly sheer
ed at the idea of setting out trees on the
townsite, and regarded it as n of Paris
Gibson's visionary schemes. To-day the
waving branches of 800 vigorous, healthy
and beautiful shade trees, all living and
fiourishing, demonstrate that the far-see-
ing founder of Great Falls builded better
than even he knew. Half our residents
are preparing to ornament their houses
with trees and shrubbery and we predict
that next year Arbor day will be observed
by all our citizens.

TALK.
His Position on the Whisky Tax Question Discussed
Why Distinction Between Whisky and
Tobacco ?-An Appeal 10 Throw
Away the Cigarette

NEW YORK, December 19.-James G..
Blaine and Mayor Hewitt received special
attention from Prohibitonist Ex-Governor
st. John in Cooper Union yesterday, when
Mr.. st. John addressed the Manhattan
Temperance Associations.
''The greatest men are said to sometimes
make the greatest blnnders," said Mr.. St.
John. ''lf so, the reputation of James G..
Blaine for greatness has been thoroughly
established by the egregious blunders he
has made. His latest blunder appears in
an interview published in the Tribune, his
personal organ, where he advocates the Ie-
peal of the tax on tobacco, on the ground
that millions Of men use tobacco and there
fore il is necessity.
'Mr. Blaine" continued the speaker,
opposes the removal of the tax on the
liquor traffic because it would destroy the
excellent high license laws some Of the
States have. Thank God, we have smoked
him ont on that"
Mr.. st. John continued: The sooner
the high license laws are destroyed the
better. This statesman says he opp0sf &
the abolition OF the whisky tax because lis
consumption would thereby be increased.
Then does not the same rule apply to to-
hacco? hh, but Mr.. Blaine ayers that to-
hacco is n necessity because, as he says,
ninety five out of one hundred use the
weed. Ifthere was the same proportion
of rum drinkers aud gamblers and bias.
phemers, would rum, swearing and gamb-
ling houses he necessities, too? We ap.
peal to our boys to throw away the ac
curei and health destroying cigarette. lie
declares it neCeSsity."
